The correctness of the announcement
of the death of ex-Sheriff Rix OF this
county in the columns of The REPUBLIC
AN of last week is doubted here, where
nothing has been heard of any such oc-
currence. 1t is more than probable the
person referred to AS having died is J. A.
Rix, brother OF the ex-sheriff who had
lived in Texas for number of years
The new German reformed church ia
this city will be dedicated on Sunday
next, the 18th inst. The church, as well
in its interior as exterior, presents a de-
cidedly neat and attractive appearance,
and is a decided ornament to the upper
part OF the city. Rev. Mr.. Kuenzli, who
has removed here from Lowell, will have
charge of the congregation. The new
church starts out with membership of
about twenty.
Under a resolution of the Couny Board
a committee of two members of that
board and the Superintendent of the Poor
have for the past few days been engaged
in taking an inventory of all the move
able property in the Court House. This
is good deal like locking the stable after
the horse has been stolen Had such an
inventory been taken year ago, and
then again week or so after the old
"boodle" officers went out of Office, it
would have disclosed a beautiful state of
things, almost every article except the re-
cords of the Offices, having been bodily
carried off from each one of the offices,
including books, statutes, inkstands, pens,
pencils, maps, aliases and even tables and
chairs. t-"
Mrs. Eloira Edwards, mother of I. J.

on Saturday evening last, aged nearly rs
years She and her husband, who still
survives, were among the early residents
OF this town, first settling here early in

The numerous friends of Richard Mertz
